I've spend like $5 in quarters on gas station air machines in the past 2 weeks to inflate my rear left tire. I don't see a nail or any apparent hole in the tire itself. And it doesn't deflate that fast...its just that I see it running really low every few days. Sometimes longer. Any suggestions fellas?

(its a Nitto 555 285/35/20 tire)

 

have you taken the wheel completely off? try taking it completely off and look for any nails. If everything seems okay it might be the valvestem needs to be replaced. It should be replaced everytime you replace your tires.

 

Not all leak are vissible. most tire shop spray water on the tire then put air into it. look for bubling, that's your leak. Whatever it is, you need to take it to get repair regardless of whever you find the leak or not.

Have it looked at. Prefferably at a place you know. The last thing you want is someone trying to sale you a set of tires when it can be patched.

 

$5 in quaters huh?
are you going to spend any more before taking it to a tire shop?

 

Next time you put air in it, pour some soapy water on the tire and look for bubbles appearing. If it is leaking, you will see the bubbles,

 

Sometimes you can get a leak in the rim. probably the tire or valve stem.

 

yeap, just added more air this morning. i'm gonna take it in to get looked at, just haven't had the time.

 

5 bucks...o_O;;;

 

yo just bring that shyt back to me, damn boy think. i put them on, remember.

 

Same thing happened to me a while ago. I was refilling the tire before work and when I left work. Turned out it was the rubber grommet around the valve stem. It was an easy fix.

 

yes, i be coming back to ur shop soon.

 

And you need to find a service station with FREE AIR
There are enough around me where I can find a reliable one...

 

you did a bad job....lol
